I wouldn't worry about your difficulty grading Washington's. It is definitely one of the hardest series to grade. As for the star, I am really...
Would it have killed you to play along. Still, it proves the point though. I disagree about one thing. IMO it grades 58 or 65 to 67. No way is...
Richie, I like your grade better than that of NGC because I think it is more accurate. The actual grade was there for everyone to see as I kept...

Thanks for the kind words Jack, I appreciate it. With regards to this coin, I think it is very possible that it is an MS64 that was bumped up to a...
Speaking of swastika coins in auction, here is a beautifully toned one in auction right now....
WOW, that information changes things considerably. This is the type of collection that Heritage will send a representative to view personally. I...
It sounds like there could be some expensive coins in this collection. If you find anything valued at $200+, I really think you should advise the...
